Laval

Weather conditions expected over the next few days will contribute to a significant increase in fire danger in the Laval region due to the absence of precipitation, moderate to strong northwest winds, low relative humidity and progressively warmer temperatures.

Dead vegetation found in green spaces and small wooded areas could therefore dry out quickly and become increasingly flammable by the end of the week.

Precipitation associated with a low-pressure system could nevertheless affect southwestern Québec beginning Sunday and help reduce fire danger.

Fire danger is expected to remain generally low in the Laval region over the next few days due to recent precipitation and continued relatively humid conditions.

However, a gradual return to drier and sunnier weather beginning mid-week could contribute to the drying of dead vegetation in green spaces and small wooded areas.

As the Laval region is primarily urban, SOPFEU interventions in this territory are very rare. Vegetation fires that may occur generally happen in fields or small wooded areas.

Fire danger remains low in the Laval region due to the cooler and wetter conditions associated with the low-pressure system affecting southern Québec.

However, a gradual return to drier and sunnier conditions is expected over the next few days. Dead vegetation may then dry out quickly and contribute to vegetation fire starts in green spaces and small wooded areas.

The fire danger is currently low in the Laval region. However, a return to sunnier and windier weather conditions over the next few days is expected to gradually increase the fire danger.

Rainfall expected toward the end of the week should help lower the risk afterward.

As the Laval region is primarily urban, SOPFEU interventions in this territory are very rare. Vegetation fires that may occur generally happen in fields or small wooded areas.

Spring conditions are now well established in the Laval region, and the fire danger could increase in the coming days due to the forecast of warm, dry weather.

Since the Laval region is primarily urban, SOPFEU interventions in this area are very rare. Any vegetation fires that do occur generally take place in fields or small wooded areas.

However, in the spring, dead vegetation dries out quickly, and vegetation fires remain possible during periods of good weather.

With snow cover now gone in Laval, spring conditions conducive to vegetation fires are present. SOPFEU has therefore begun publishing the Fire Danger Index in this region.

In spring, as soon as warm weather arrives, vigilance is required. Dead vegetation (brush, dry leaves, etc.) tends to dry out very quickly under the effects of sun and wind, becoming highly flammable.

As Laval is essentially an urban region, SOPFEU interventions there are very rare. Vegetation fires that do occur typically take place in fields or small wooded areas and are usually handled by the Laval Fire Department.
